In Republican primary races this year, few issues have come up more in TV ads than immigration. And one word in particular stands out: invasion.
A few years ago, that word was confined to the fringes of the immigration debate. Most candidates would avoid it.
In this election cycle, it's moved squarely into the mainstream.
"We're gonna end this invasion," Blake Masters, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Arizona, says in a campaign ad.
The word has also appeared in ads for Gov. Brian Kemp in Georgia, Sen. Rick Scott in Florida, and Kari Lake, who's locked in a close race in the Republican primary for governor in Arizona.

I am not sure if I would classify it as an invasion, certainly more Illegals than we need here, but I also notice that the Democrats are all of a sudden not so happy with this administrations policies.

The marketing of sheer fear and terror is the primary platform of republican for Donald.

I think I would call the illegal movement of almost 1 million people into our country an invasion

Another Republican Political stun to play into the minds of closeted bigots. We have over 1K of OPEN BORDERS with Canada. YET! No one is batting an eye. I have made drug buys up there from US, and Canadian citizens. NO ONE is concerned. We have stopped shipments coming from China, Africa, Europe, Caribbean, and NO ONE CARES. The only thing we care is about what is happening on the southern border because trump told us to. Can we say ignorance? Jellyfishes swarming in the cesspool of ignorance ALL based on half facts.
